6 Incredible Beauty Products That Will Convince You To Go Green

Some women have the wrong idea about green beauty.

They assume that it’s all about “toxin” paranoia and patchouli overload. And—even worse—they’ve never tried a natural beauty product good enough to keep ‘em coming back for more.

So here they are: six makeup and skincare products that raise the bar on clean beauty. They use high-quality, nontoxic ingredients and deliver on their promises.

In other words: they really work.

As usual, this post is not sponsored, and all opinions are my own.

Lily Lolo Foundation

Lily Lolo Foundation

Not all mineral foundations are created equal.

Other mineral foundations often contain bismuth oxychloride, which causes redness and irritation, especially in warm weather or if you sweat. But Lily Lolo has a simple and safe ingredient list that doesn’t cause redness.

Lily Lolo’s Foundation effortlessly creates an even, radiant complexion that can look like skin itself or a glam airbrushed look, depending on how it’s applied.

For a perfect application, I recommend using a densely packed brush and finishing with a setting mist. This is one of those products I can’t imagine being without, and many readers of The Beauty Proof have happily switched to.

Vitamin C Booster from True Botanicals

Vitamin C is one of the most safe and effective ingredients for younger looking skin. But Vitamin C is also notoriously unstable in skincare preparations. As soon as Vitamin C is mixed into a liquid, it begins to oxidize and lose its power.

Vitamin C Booster from True Botanicals

Think about all the serums and creams that boast the research-backed benefits of Vitamin C, yet don’t deliver on their promises.

That’s why this Vitamin C Booster from True Botanicals is different. It made my skin visibly brighter, smoother, firmer and even improved hyperpigmentation (read more about my results here).

By separating the serum from the Vitamin C, the Vitamin C Booster retains maximum potency until mixed with a serum in the palm of your hand. (Here’s the serum I love!)

Eyeshadow Quattro from Antonym

These stunning nude eyeshadows apply smoothly and evenly; sadly, not all “natural” eyeshadows can do that. And more importantly, Antonym’s eyeshadows don’t melt away by lunchtime.

99.62% of the ingredients are from a natural origin, and 12% of the total ingredients are from organic farming. Keep in mind that it doesn’t matter that the organic percentage is so low…. as a mineral-based eyeshadow, this is, by definition, primarily an inorganic product.

Lipstick from Ilia

Ilia Lipstick

Ilia’s Lipstick combines lip-nourishing oils like castor, jojoba and sesame into one of the most beloved makeup products in the green beauty universe. The finish is creamy semi-matte, and the 15 shades range from nude to vibrant orchid.

With the sleek packaging, on-trend colors, and perfectly wearable formulation, it’s hard to beat these lipsticks.
